The Democrat Party has no sense of decency. At least Joseph McCarthy knew who the enemy was.
Joseph McCarthy knew more than was reported in the press.
About a decade ago perhaps a little more we were having a lunch time round table at work and McCarthy came up, and after briefly reviewing of any fact that we could remember we surmise that McCarthy had the right message, but he was the wrong messenger.
Once the Press learned of his alcoholism they publicly tore him apart. In Hollywood, they curried and coiffed within their peers groups as they lamented about the great damage McCarthy had caused to not only this country, but specifically for those reds that were targeted “unfairly and without remorse” It was quite the smear, and one that McCarthy would never recover from.
It sort of reminds me of the old “joke” that if Jesus walked on water the press would report that Jesus could not swim.
